WHAT SHE WANTED.

The Peculiar Desire of a Dakota Woman
Who Had Lost Every Thing.
A destructive storm recently passed
in the vicinity of Watertown, this Ter
ritory, doing considerable damage. A
number of settlers lost nearly every
thing, their houses being blown away
and personal effects destroyed. A re-
lief committee went out from Water
town the next morning to look up the
sufferers. One of the worst cases they
could learn of was that of a woman
who had had small house directly in
the path of the storm and who lost
every thing she had in the world, with
the exception of dress which she had
hurriedly slipped on when awakened
by the storm. Some of the lady mem
bers of the committee visited her at a
neighbours house.
$50 you lost every thingP" one of
them said.
Every thing had in the world ex-
cept the dress l have on
blouse and furniture all blown
awayp"
Yes"
Your clothing all gone except that
dress?''
Every thing-even my shoes and
stockings"
''Well, we have come out to do some-
thing for you people who were so I'M
fortunate as to be struck by the cyclone.
What will you want first in the way of
clothing7"
"Wen. replied the woman who had
lost every thing, 81 feel very grateful
for your kindness. You just give me IA

Some Ghastly Relics.

There recently passed under the ex-
animation of the Customs House Off
Gals in this city number of cases of
curiosities and relics sent by the Uni
ted States naval officers attached to the
South Pacific squadron to some of their
relatives and friends in Washington.
The articles had been gathered in
cruises among the islands of the South
Pacific and along the Western coast of
South America. One of the boxes was
filled with human skulls, a number of
which appeared 10 be very old. Three
of them were labeled: "Skulls of Kings
of the Easter Islands," The curiosities
included war clubs, arrows made of
reeds and tipped with bone, spears
with long barbs, bound with cord to
the shaft, a pear shaped mace of stone
about foot long. pieces of South
American pottery, the jaws of large
shark, Philadelphia Ledger.

ling of ], 800 Inhabitants.

Special Correspondence.
Imagine the surprise of your CORE
spondent on arrival at Lamar, Col,
situated on the main line of the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad,
Colorado State line, in Bent County, to
find a busy, bustling city of 1900 in
habitants, and only little over year
old. Where only few months before
we saw only the prairie plain, the cow
boy, coyote and jack rabbit we find a
hurrying commercial center, with all
kinds OF business fourishing as
green bay tree, with three banks, one
National, four newspapers, elegant
frame, iron and brick blocks, immense
retail and jobbing houses, United
States Land Office busy as a bee hive.
railroad freight receipts $4,000 per
month, lots that sold nine months ago
for $500 now bringing $4,000, and
every thing in that proportion.
In establishment we set about to find
out from whence came all this growth
and greatness. The solution was easy.
Congress during the summer of 1886
created the new Bent land district,
comprising over six million acres
of Southeast Colorado, and at the same
time established land Office at Lamar,
near the center of this district. This
office opened for business January 3,
1887. Never in the history of the
wonderful West has there been such a
rush of settlers and people into
new territory. The fact was Kan
sas was full up to the west line; all
her choice free lands were taken. The
line dividing Colorado and Kansas is
purely an imaginary one, and, come to
look it in the face, the Centennial State
really offered most Inducements. In
Southeast Colorado is more timber,
water and coal than in Kansas. They
are nearer the mountains, markets and
moisture and get more rain. Have
had double the amount this year. Sod
crops are great. The land is just as
fine as ever lay out of doors and all
subject to entry under Presumption,
Homestead and Tree Culture laws, and
is being rapidly taken, though there
are yet plenty of good lands for all
who come this fall and soon. Lamar
is the United States land Office and
railroad supply and shipping point for
all this vast territory and, as such, is
destined to make great city. A great
many important towns are being built
north and south of Lamar. The Lamar
land district is the home seekers and
business mans paradise to-day. For
information address Secretary Bureau
Information, Lamar, Col, or, what is
much better, like your correspondent,
go and see for yourself, and when you
have seen Lamar, the most wonderful
town in the West, and the rich rolling
prairie plains, free for all, of the La
mar land district, you will, with the
Queen of Sheba, be forced to exclaim,
1.-THE half has never been told"

MIR. Higginson says that for one
young man who adopts his fathers pro-
fession or a profession of his fathers
choice there are d dozen who strike
out for themselves I'm some way and
choose something as far as possible
from the atmosphere in which they
have been reared" He thinks that
while the tendency in older lands is to
make men specialists, the tendency
here is still to- make good "all-round"
